I keep seeing posts asking "is (blank) a honypot"?

The answer is yes.

All online forums are potentially honypots and virtually ever forum like Voat and Poal are absolutely honypots.

Not because the owners are in on it, they don't need to be because these are public places. They can be accessed by anyone. Of course we are being monitored. Agencies would be stupid not to.

The internet is not private and you have no anonymity online. Your VPN does nothing accept lull you into a false sense of security.

Act accordingly.

Oh, and have a good day. I ❤ u

Anyone is exposed and naked in the internet. This is by design, and concept of "privacy" is laughable.

Not to say there are no ways of obfuscation your identity and actions to some degree, but at the end of the day, a public network is just that - public.

But I use incognito mode?

Yep, switching the browser theme from white to black definitely helps these packets travel all over the world in a total anonymity!! :-D

(sorry, was hard not to lol)

Seriously though, no. Anything you do, becomes data. Data on the network is shared by definition. And it is only a question of effort required to extract, process, and analyze it.

the other thing I do for network security is I turn off my monitor when I type in the website and push enter, then i turn the monitor back on so no one sees where I'm going
